Search news articles. Returns a list of matching articles. Each article includes: - article_id, classification_id, title, source, date, link, category, rank, total_shares, summary - bias_values: dict of per-dimension bias scores using plain-text keys (e.g. 'liberal conservative bias'), same schema as get_bias_from_url and get_all_source_biases (when available) - bias_analysis_status: 'evidence_ready', 'evidence_unverified', 'evidence_partial', 'scored_legacy', or 'pending' - bias_dimensions when include_evidence=true: a self-contained object joining each score, scale, evidence status, claim, evidence, counterevidence, confidence, and rationale. Quotes include verification method and exact character offsets when raw-text matching succeeds. Dimension evidence_status is one of: verified, provided_unchecked, quote_mismatch, metadata_incomplete, metadata_only, or missing. - bias_analysis: contract/schema/model/prompt provenance, generation and review status, input scope/hash/size, limitations, quote-verification method, and explicit evidence coverage - context: AI-generated contextual background for the article (when available) - implicit_assumptions: tacit or unstated premises the article's claims or framing rely on (list of concise strings, when available) - extracted_data: structured quantitative/qualitative facts extracted from the article - raw_data: legacy serialized form of extracted_data Args: query: Search keywords (required). limit: Max results (1-100, default 20). source: Filter by source name, e.g. 'CNN', 'Reuters'. category: Filter by category. One of: 'trending', 'tech', 'markets', 'politics', 'business', 'science', 'memes'. days_back: Only include articles from the last N days. 0 means no date filter. Default: 720 (2 years). min_shares: Minimum total social shares. sort: Sort order. One of: 'rank' (relevance, default), 'date' (newest), 'shares' (most shared). include_evidence: Include claim-level evidence, counterevidence, confidence, rationale, and limitations. Defaults to false to keep search payloads compact. only_analyzed: Return only articles with valid canonical bias scores.
